took a little while to figure out that somewhere between four and ten appendages with a mouth on the front and a butthole on the back was the best layout.

At first I thought he was a divorcee just trying to get his dog back but now that I know he’s a divorcee spending time with his daughter I like the story even more.

Even worse is they reply to themselves figured it out and say nothing else.

“This is just bad, no matter how you spin it,” said a veteran Democratic operative. “But everyone knows it’s too late to switch. But the donors will make those decisions, as they always do. Hence why we got Biden” in 2020.

lol.

yea but on the other hand this is clearly from a comedy skit so not sure this is worth the exercise in pedantry.

i dont think it really matters. this is going to be an all out war between media companies and big tech and big tech is much much bigger.

A lot of machine learning work is empirical so it was more a joke at the expense of oversimplifying the situation.

Real science is trying random stuff until you get slightly better performance out of your model and then creating contrived explanations for why you think it worked

btw yann lecun is the head of meta ai so this is just a couple of rich dickheads having a slap fight

i can imagine some kind of LRU cache being reasonably useful for this situation, assuming you have some latency hierarchy. For example if the desktop has an SSD, HDD, and some USB HDDs attached I can imagine you having a smaller cache that keeps more frequently accessed files on the SSD, followed by a bigger one on the internal HDD, and followed again by USB HDDs as the ultimate origin of the data. Or even just have the SSD as cache and everything else is origin. I don’t know if there’s software that would do this kind of thing already though.

You may want to consider zipping files for transfer though, especially if the transfer protocol is creating new tcp connections for every file.

Joe Biden, the most powerful person in the world, is completely powerless and it’s not his fault. Meanwhile if Trump is elected it’s the end of American democracy.

There’s what Biden is actually doing vs what people think Trump will do. You think Trump will worsen the genocide - but what does that mean, materially? Biden is already sending Israel all the weapons they want and giving them all the air cover they need politically. What more could Trump do?

Yeah I’m actually amazed people are still using this term. Figures it’s about computers though lol, of course the antisocial nerds are stronger holdouts than car enthusiasts.
